Abstract

Routine nutrition screening is recommended for all older patients admitted to hospital however data on the prevalence of malnutrition in rehabilitation settings is sparse. This study assessed the nutritional status of older patients admitted to rehabilitation hospitals over a 5 year period and described the association between nutritional status and length of hospital stay (LOS) in this context. The usefulness of a recently revised version of the shortened MNA (MNA-SF) was also investigated. A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients aged 65 + y admitted to two rehabilitation hospitals in New South Wales, Australia between 1st March 2003-30th June 2004, and 11th January 2005-10th December 2008. Nutritional status was determined on admission by trained dietitians using the full MNA instrument and the MNA-SF. Information on diagnosis-related grouping and length of stay (LOS) was obtained. Data was available for 2076 patients with a mean age of 80.6 (27.7) y. Thirty-three percent and 51.5% of patients were classified as malnourished and at nutritional risk, respectively. Controlling for date of admission and diagnosis related grouping, LOS was higher in malnourished and at risk groups compared to their well nourished peers...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
